AbstractUS and global coastlines are densely populated and have tremendous ecological and economic value. These coastal regions are threatened by storm activity compounded by rising sea levels, and effective coastal protection requires knowledge of shoreline changes due to waves. On sandy beaches, waves can move sediment by creating pressure gradients above and within the seafloor. These seabed processes evolve rapidly in both time and space, making it challenging to directly measure and understand the
